Sorry about the title, but this is a concern of mine. I'm considering owning and 04 legacy (JDM BL5) with 59,000 KM on the odo. I was told the car was barely driven and so far it looks clean. Now i've done some reading and it seems these cars engine have a tendency to blow or turbo destroyed?
Help me with my concerns:

1. The oil filter for the turbo has a tendency to break apart and destroy the turbo?

2. The Cat before the turbo has a tendency of disintegrating and damage the turbo?

3. The 5EAT transmission is good for how many miles on avg?

4. Oil change interval is 6000KM (3800mi)?

I would really love honest responses and feel free to contribute tips in avoiding any of my concerns

It can clog. But you can pull it to check it or you can just do regular oil changes to prevent it from clogging.

2. The Cat before the turbo has a tendency of disintegrating and damage the turbo?

It has happened, usually on higher mileage vehicles I think. You can replace the uppipe with a catless version if you want

3. The 5EAT transmission is good for how many miles on avg?

At stock power levels it will outlast your engine if you take care of it by changing the fluid regularly (drain and fill every 15,000 miles)

4. Oil change interval is 6000KM (3800mi)?

Yeah.
